The Japanese manufacturer adds that the ZW220-7 has been designed to put operators in control of their workspace, with new safety features and increased comfort in the cab.
The loader features the Aerial Angle camera system, giving operators a 270-degree bird’s-eye view of the jobsite, while the rear obstacle detection and warning system alerts them immediately if anything is close to the rear of the machine.
Hitachi says the ZW220-7 is especially easy to use due to features such as the improved seat with mounted electric pilot control leavers, new monitor controller and convenient side switch panel.
The company adds that owners will be able to increase their profits due to the fuel economy and efficiency of the ZW220-7, in addition to faster and more efficient short loading operations due to the approach speed control feature.
The new ZW-7 model is also designed to load trucks more accurately using the payload monitoring system. In addition, operators can monitor the fuel consumption with the new ECO gauge and performance can be improved with several adjustable functions.
To support owners and operators throughout the life cycle of the new ZW-7 wheeled loaders, Hitachi provides a wide range of after-sales services, and access to vital data and tools so they can manage their machine effectively. These include remote monitoring systems, Owner’s Site and ConSite (part of Global e-Service), and the ConSite Pocket app, which help to monitor performance, track location and plan maintenance.
“Many years of extensive research have contributed to the development of the ZW-7 range to ensure that it meets the specific demands of European customers, from small business owners to large fleet contractors,” said Bill Drougkas, wheeled loader product manager of Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe).
“As a result, we believe it offers a superior experience in the cab and exceeds expectations in terms of efficiency and performance."
